After very busy and at times very stressful few months it's finally the school holidays and I am on holiday for the next 6 weeks! don't know about you but when I get really stressed I close my eyes and dream, my favourite being - of lying on a warm sandy beach and slowly toasting in the sun (of course in the dream I'm also at least 2 sizes smaller and 3inches taller!!) so hence my card....and isn't colouring in sooo therapeutic so restful even when it takes half a dozen goes to get it right !

p.s would like to say that in RL the umbrella is red and green not orange as it appears here, our son has our camera on his trip so have had to use my phone camera and I'm amazed to find that apart from the colour of the umbrella that it doesn't take too bad a picture !

Jenni, I only just saw your card and that one word immediately started me dreaming of a soft sandy beach, warm sun, waves rolling..... oh dear need to wake up. I love how you are thinner and taller in your dream. I put a similar thing on my blog last week with a holiday card!

Your card is simple, no bells and whistles, but so very effective. I feel warm and relaxed already!

Hi Jenni - fab card (and yes I would love to be laying in the sand next to you!) - love this perfect little scene and, quite frankly, who cares if the umbrella is orange or red? hehe Thanks so much for joining us for this challenge at A2CAS.

Congratulations on your well-deserved win Jennie! I'm very lucky to live near a beach here in Devon and whenever I'm feeling stressed or need to think I head straight for the beach no matter what the weather! Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers. Sharon x
